A lot of noise was made when it was confirmed that US golfers would be paid at this year's Ryder Cup. Although most of the amount will go to charity, some are frustrated by the decisions of the PGA of America leaders, believing that prestigious tournaments like the Ryder Cup should not be about money, but about prestige.
In yesterday's press conference, Keegan Bradley referred to the financial injection, explaining why he decided to direct all the money to charity.
When asked by a reporter if his players will follow the same example, Bradley had an interesting answer:
Will others follow the same example?
Most golfers have not spoken publicly about what they will do with the money, but the public predicts that most will not follow Keegan Bradley's example. This is also one of the reasons why the US public is somewhat angry with its players, considering that financial compensation is not necessary in this tournament.
Golfers do not want to react, aware that any reaction related to this topic can further damage their integrity and cause public anger. Precisely because of this, US golfers put the accent exclusively on the tournament, not wanting to go deeper into topics related to financial compensation.
